A solar return chart is a chart erected for the time that the
transiting Sun returns to the position of the natal Sun (degree, minute and
second.) The date and time of this conjunction, calculated down to the exact
second of arc is the time of the solar return chart. The solar return chart is
then erected for that date, time, and location.

The solar return chart is very simple to interpret and it is
probably the easiest predictive technique to use. The most important thing to
remember about the interpretation of the solar return chart is that it can be
treated like a temporary natal. If you can interpret a natal chart, then you
can interpret a solar return.
